Projector lens retrofit (pic heavy)

**caloyski5** · January 29th, 2007 06:54 PM

for a more defined headlight cut off, us projector housing users can do a projector lens retrofit. we currently use spotlamps and this causes a lot of glare to oncoming traffic. i'm tired of the curses and flashing of lights. hehehe

i will update this thread of the progress of this project.

a set of delica headlights were used c/o marlon/exceed and was ripped apart by rocky of mach2 (salamas sobra sa tulong!!!)

pics below..

a dremel tool was used...

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"

one done.

tadaaaa!

2 done. beautiful

tools used: dremel with cutting tool.
total cost: 1500 each for the headlights, 3000 for both.

next in line is:

1. fixing the cut-off of the lens since these projectors are from a right hand drive vehicle. yero and steel epoxy will be used.

2. mounting with adjustability

thanks to marlon of exceed and mach2 for the assistance.

notice the cutoff beam is opposite already.

total cost of this section:

steel epoxy - 125 p
coke in can - 25 p

= 150 p

the projectors are now mounted in my projector housing. all i can say is....ANG GANDA!!! :D

only problem now is the alignment/focus of the lights. since very sharp ang beam pattern, kitang kita kung tabingi...and it IS tabingi. hehehe

here it is installed and lit..

comparing my previous lens to the delica projectors is like night and day!!!

1. i dont get flashed anymore
2. beam on the road isnt two vertical lines anymore. ang ganda ng pagkailaw sa kalye!!
3. with my 4500K hid, the lens produces a prism like effect. ang cute!

i will post pics of beam pattern, day shots and whatever i feel necessary. hehehe

saan oto i-transpalnt yung projectors? been thinking of doing it sa hiace ko. but at 3k, di kaya ng budget, panget kasi yung cut-off nung taiwan na headlites the low is too low and high is too high, ang tapos ang mahal naman nung orig na bosch or koito headlites 4k plus a pair.. hay

**caloyski5** · January 29th, 2007 07:05 PM

i have already corrected the beam pattern and just need to take night pics and some day pics of the projectors

mounting was done by a friend of mine who owns a metal fabrication factory in caloocan. thanks dennis adik!

**GerardTagayty** · January 29th, 2007 09:41 PM

astig!!! gusto ko rin nyan! sir pano yun lens cover? parang makitid ang headlights ko... may maliit bang mga projectors lens? o pwede na yun pang fogs na lens?

Wow very nice! Sana may gumagawa nito kasi I want to have something like this din. May nakita ako sa CR-V na ganito, gamit niya pa Bosch ata na projectors ganda pero mahal yun.
